The Piper Colt PA22/108 you mention was probably ZK-BSL which I think was the first of its type in NZ and was owned from new by the Auckland Aero Club from about 1961. Ken Windsor was an "A Cat" instructor at the AAC about 1961-64 and a real gentleman. Did some of my commercial training with him. I think he then went to Fiji either flying with the local airline or operating a trading schooner but later came back to Auckland to retire, and I believe he died some years ago.
I made extensive use of the Colt while building up hours for the CPL as it was usualy avbl at short notice and at a favourable rate for someone on apprentice wages. My last knowledge of the Colt was that it was owned in Geelong (Grovedale) about 3 years ago.
